Launch: Script & Style

I always liked the idea of having a community links section on websites. Lots of sites in this genre have that and I think it's great. The driving purpose behind a tutorial site like this is helping people learn and sharing inspiration. I do my weekly "Links of Interest" posts (which I will probably keep doing), but I wanted a better way to have a "stream" of links going to other good reading in the community. Hence the birth of Script & Style!

Script & Style is going to be a user-driven stream of links, which anybody can submit to using the article submission form. Each entry will be moderated and checked for quality so each link that goes through is surely of interest and spam-free.

There will also be exclusive tutorials from time to time. David Walsh (the brains behind the idea), kicked things off with a great article on using MooTools 1.2 for Drag, Drop, Sort & Save. If you are interested, you can pick up the new feed here, which will include both the link stream and the exclusive tutorials.

I'm going to be creating a little sidebar-widgety thing for here on the site which will pull recent entries from Script & Style. I'll be probably writing up a tutorial on how to do that, so stay tuned for that =)

I have the little sidebar tabby-box thing in there now for your browsing pleasure. It’s kind of annoying now how you have to click over to the site first, and then to the link. I’m gonna try to fix that at some point (when I figure out how =)).

Nice little site. I think you should specific what type of articles your would prefer submitted, both here and on the site/submit page. That way it gives users a better idea of what to submit and what articles will be shown on the site.

What now? I have some ideas for you.

Go explore CodePen!

As a front end designer and developer, you should have an account on CodePen so you can save your snippets, present your ideas, and engage with the rest other front end folk. I'd encourage you to go PRO as well, to unlock the full power of CodePen.
